I WISH YOU HEAVEN: a poem

My dear, you were my everything, my breath my food and air-
I loved you for existing, a loss I could not bear-

But the cards, it seems, played differently than what we thought would be-
For once placed on the table,... you'd not end up with me-

I still love you, my heart of hearts, my Queen in every dream-
I still think that we'd win each day, as God's most loving team-

Despite my faith in what we had, our team did lose the game-
I wish you Heaven, though I know that you'd not wish the same-

Our ups always outpaced our downs, our tiffs turned into laughter-
Our love had made our smiles from frowns, pain now but joy soon after-

To think, I planned on having you, to hold and love forever-
But dreams are dreams my fantasies from life I had to sever-

Some said that I aimed much too high, others, far too low-
they have no clue of what we had, they'll likely never know-

A King and Queen, a kingdom, celebrating life and love-
I wish you Heaven, maybe we will meet there, up above-
